About Serious Sam Tormental
Deep in an abandoned temple lies a cursed artifact, an ancient device capable of the unthinkable. Could this be the key to entering the mind of the god of destruction: Mental? This may be ‘Serious’ Sam Stone’s only chance to delve deep into the twisted world of Mental’s wicked imagination, where his quest will lead him into battle against reckless hordes of monsters. You know, the usual.
